Despite the fact its officially spring, it's still absolutely freezing! An apt time to publish this warming pork dish. Ragu is essentially an Italian meat stew, with tomato and vegetables, slowly cooked until rich and succulent. We bake this ragu on a bed of wet polenta. You don't see polenta cooked in the UK much, but its a nutritious starch and tastes great flavoured with butter and cheese! We finish the dish in the oven, gratinated with an unctuous Manchego cheese sauce.

This is a vegetarian version of the classic french onion soup. We use a combination of a brown mushroom stock & marmite to give the soup a great depth of flavour. The key to this recipe is patience!
